📝 INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 cup chopped peanut butter cups (like Reese’s)
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

🔔 INSTRUCTIONS:

STEP 1: PREPARE FOR BAKING

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

STEP 2: MIX DRY INGREDIENTS

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

STEP 3: COMBINE WET INGREDIENTS

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

STEP 4: ADD BANANAS AND DRY INGREDIENTS

Stir the mashed bananas into the wet mixture until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

STEP 5: ADD CHOCOLATE AND PEANUT BUTTER

Fold in the chopped peanut butter cups and mini chocolate chips. This will give your bread those extra pockets of chocolatey, peanut-buttery goodness!

STEP 6: BAKE

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the bread is browning too quickly, you can cover it with foil halfway through the baking time.

STEP 7: COOL AND SERVE

Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
